Fit for Purpose? Why that name? It's the philosophy...

Why fit for purpose? Well, it all started with massage therapy and then a realisation that we could do something special; provide a service that makes a real difference to people’s lives. It is hard to believe that massaging someone can help them change from a person with crippling pain and restriction to someone able to enjoy activity and exercise once again but it can and does. We experience transformations of varying degrees every day. Not miracles but skillful application of therapeutic techniques to relieve stress and tension to restore freedom of movement. 
fit for purpose’: we decided that we would try to help people become fit for their particular purpose, whether that be to walk along Skipton high street or compete in the Olympic games.Massage helps provide freedom of movement and freedom from pain, so then what else might someone need? Freedom from anxiety or restrictions of the mind? Mind and body are united in each of us so we learnt how to help people see things differently to overcome life’s difficulties. 
So that’s it - we want to help people become fit for their purpose, we enjoy what we do and take great pleasure in seeing others enjoy their lives. 
Finally - a quote from Karen Darke’s blog that we like:
“Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character. 
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”
….. ‘Life is Good’ goes…  “Do what you love, love what you do”
